Chapter 21

Half-treasured weapon?

Chen Yu thought of Yuefeng's broken weapon. Even an incomplete weapon could increase one's fighting power by a lot.

"Half-treasured weapons are the best weapons in the mortal world. Only a few famous craftsmen can make them. They are almost as powerful as treasured weapons, and in some aspects, they are even better than treasured weapons! "

The clan leader explained.

These words made Chen Yu's heart beat faster.

An extra half-treasured weapon would mean another way to attack, and it would be more convenient for him to go on missions in the future.

Although Chen Yu practiced bare-handed martial arts, it was not suitable for all environments.

Besides.

The bounty on a piece of fertile land was attractive to Chen Yu.

After returning to Xiangyang City, the clan's performance disappointed him, and he didn't have much hope for the clan.

If he could have a piece of land, he could build his own manor, and he would have more freedom in his cultivation.

Chen Yu wasn't the only one who was tempted.

Chen Yu was a member of the Sect, and even he was tempted, not to mention the clan leaders.

Even though Chen Yu didn't care about ten thousand gold, it was enough to make many people jealous.

"Hehe, I've always wanted a treasure. Although it's only a half-treasured weapon, I should be able to exchange it for some yuan stones when I bring it back to the Sect."

Chen Ying 'er looked happy, as if the bounty was already set in stone for her.

"Do you think the Flooding Lake Trio are easy to deal with?"

The clan leader, Chen Tianwei, shook his head with a bitter smile.

According to what he knew, the Flooding Lake Trio were not only evil, but also cunning. They were good at working together to defeat the strong.

"There's something strange. Why would the Governor's Mansion put a bounty on them? "

A clan elder asked doubtfully.

Logically speaking, the Flooding Lake Trio were criminals who were wanted by the Imperial Court, and had nothing to do with Xiangyang City.

However, Xiangyang City's bounty was even higher than the Imperial Court's. Moreover, as long as the leader of the trio was killed, the bounty would be increased.

It had to be said that this matter was very strange.

"Because … the Flooding Lake's Three Banes made a trip to the City Lord's mansion and killed the City Lord's mother. According to rumors, they even kidnapped the City Lord's daughter! "

Chen Tianwei said coldly.

As soon as he said that.

The entire place fell into a momentary silence before everyone gasped.

"Impossible! There are more than ten Meridian Opening experts in the City Lord's Mansion. "

"That Xiangyang City Lord, Yan Fengyun, is said to be close to the Viscera Refinement stage. Rumor has it that there is a Viscera Refinement Stage expert overseeing the mansion. How could they let the three evils have their way? "

Everyone discussed spiritedly with solemn expressions.

If the Flooding Lake Triad really had such strength, then this bounty wasn't something an ordinary person could afford to provoke.

At the very least, it would be very difficult for the clan elders and higher-ups present to complete such a difficult task.

"Perhaps at that time, the City Lord's mansion's Viscera Refinement stage master didn't have the time to act. Moreover, it's not like the Flooding Lake's Three Banes have never fought against someone at the Viscera Refinement Stage before. When have they ever suffered a loss? "

The Patriarch, Chen Tianwei, said indifferently.

Everyone nodded slightly in agreement with Chen Tianwei's words.

However, no one suggested to participate in the hunt for the Flooding Lake Triad anymore.

Although the bounty was high, one needed to be alive to enjoy it.

"What's the cultivation of the Flooding Lake Triad like?"

Chen Yu finally asked.

"The Flooding Lake Triad's talent isn't high. Even the strongest among them, the eldest, Death Seizing Hand, hasn't reached the Viscera Refinement Stage. He's probably at the peak of the Meridian Opening Stage. However, the three of them have been running amok for more than ten years and have many tricks up their sleeves. Their strength can't be measured with common sense. Countless people of the same level have died in their hands. It's even rumored that the three of them have once joined forces to heavily injure a Viscera Refinement Stage expert. "

Chen Tianwei said solemnly.

He didn't dare to hide too much about the rumors of the three evils' strength.

"Very good! I've decided to participate in this bounty. "

Chen Yu revealed a smile.

Not long ago, his Bronze Statue Skill had reached Greater Mastery of Bronze Skin. He was itching to find an opponent to fight.

As for the Cloud Fists that he mainly practiced, he needed to increase the power of his fist technique through real combat and understand the true essence of the fist technique.

Moreover, the bounty offered by the City Governor's Mansion tempted him.

"I'll join as well." Chen Ying 'er giggled.

Hearing this, the Patriarch, Chen Tianwei, frowned.

Chen Yu's participation was exactly what he wanted. After all, the kid's defense was extraordinarily strong.

However, he was worried about Chen Ying 'er's participation. The main reason was not a problem of strength, but the price she had to pay for the family's high hopes was too great.

"Father, don't worry. I'll work together with Brother Yu. Why would we be afraid of a few thieves? "

Chen Ying 'er was full of confidence.

After some discussion, Chen Tianwei agreed to Chen Yu and Chen Yu's request.

However, Chen Tianwei had a request.

First, Chen Yu and Chen Ying 'er could not be separated. They had to be together!

Thinking about it, if the disciples of the two Sects worked together, even if they could not kill the Three Evils, they would have no problem staying alive.

Second, the family would send a group of experts to assist the two. They could not refuse.

Third, if they could not win, they could not show off and retreat in time.

Regarding these three conditions, Chen Yu and Chen Yike agreed to them.

…

That night, Chen Yu and Chen Ying 'er began to make arrangements in the family.

Chen Tianwei assigned two Illuminating Pulse experts to the two. One was the head guard of the Chen family, and the other was an elder of the Chen family. They were both in the middle stage of the Illuminating Pulse realm.

Chen Yu sized up the two experts.

The head guard, surnamed Fang, was a square-faced man in leather armor. He held a sword and shield.

The elder was a young swordsman with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was the elder of the two.

"Uncle Fang, Uncle Chen Ying 'er."

Chen Yu and Chen Ying 'er got to know the two Illuminating Pulse experts.

Uncle Fang was the head guard. He had fought many battles and was very experienced. He had a good relationship with the family master.

Uncle Chen Ying was the young swordsman. He was an expert of the older generation and had traveled all over the Chu Country.

Apart from these two, there were also eighteen guards. They were all in the Body Tempering Realm.

"Not bad."

Chen Yu nodded inwardly. The lineup this time was much stronger than the one that killed the Bear King, be it the number of people or the quality of the powerhouses.

Late at night.

A group of four Meridian Opening Stage experts and eighteen Guardians quietly left Xiangyang City.

"According to reliable sources, the Three Evils of the Flooding Lake have kidnapped the daughter of the City Lord and are heading to the northern suburbs of Xiangyang City."

Uncle Fang, the guard, twisted the shield in his hand.

"Hehe, since they have a hostage, the Three Evils should want to force the City Lord to give in. They won't be too far away from the city. If I were one of them, I would definitely occupy a high ground and be able to move around freely. "

The young swordsman, Uncle Chen Ying, said with a smile.

"Fifth Uncle is very experienced. I also acknowledge this point."

Chen Yu nodded.

The Three Evils of the Flooding Lake must have a motive for kidnapping the daughter of the City Lord. They wouldn't be far from Xiangyang City in the short term. They would most likely be hiding somewhere nearby.

After leaving the city and entering the suburbs, everyone became vigilant.

The Eighteen Great Protectors were scattered within a mile or two, looking for clues.

Not long later.

A guard exclaimed, "There's a corpse here."

Everyone hurriedly rushed over and saw the corpse of a man wearing leather armor in a pile of grass.

Looking closely, there was a "triangular dart" stuck in the man's throat.

This kind of dart was thin and long with three edges.

At this moment, blood flowed down the grooves of the blades and dyed the soil red.

"I know this person. He's the head of the guards of the Mu family and one of the few Illuminating Pulse Realm experts in Xiangyang City."

Uncle Fang sucked in a breath of cold air.

After all, the person in front of him was very similar in status and strength to him.

Chen Yu's face also showed a hint of caution.

The Mu family was the same family that Mu Xueqing was from. They were also one of the three major families in Xiangyang City.

The three major families of Xiangyang City had all sent experts to participate in this mission. It was normal to see people from the Mu family or the Wang family.

"Look at the wound. It was a fatal dart. The attacker should be the second of the Three Evils of the Flooding Lake, the "Blood Poison Dart". This person is very skilled in the art of hidden weapons and they say that he never misses. "

Uncle Fang took a deep breath and looked around cautiously.

The Blood Poison Dart of the Second Evils!

Chen Yu was also cautious. This person could kill a Illuminating Pulse Realm cultivator with a hidden weapon from a distance.

This meant that the people present could be killed by the Second Evils in a second.

"The Second Evils' Blood Poison Dart. His triangular dart was coated with a deadly poison. But this dart didn't kill the Mu family guard with poison, but with the power of the hidden weapon itself."

Guard Uncle Fang added.

A poisonous dart could kill a Illuminating Pulse Realm expert without relying on poison.

Even if one was lucky enough to avoid being hit in the vitals, it might not be able to avoid the deadly poison.

The Second Evils were really terrifying!

Everyone was on guard as they followed some clues and moved forward.

In the end.

Along the way, they saw one or two corpses at every distance.

These corpses died in a similar way to the first one. They were all killed with one dart.

Moreover, almost 45% of them didn't die from poison, but from the penetrating power of the hidden weapon itself.

"There are corpses from the Mu family, the Wang family, and even more from the Governor's Mansion …"

Uncle Fang felt a chill in his heart.

It seemed that the Governor's Mansion had sent out the most people, but they had also lost the most people.

And so far, only two of the Three Evils had made a move. The strongest of the Three Evils, Death Seizing Hand, hadn't made a move at all.

"Report, there's a pile of corpses over there."

A guard ran over, still in a state of shock.

Chen Yu and the other Illuminating Pulse Realm experts rushed over to take a look. Their expressions became even more solemn.

In the dark night, they could see seven or eight corpses. They had all died together, and there was an extinguished fire in the middle.

Obviously.

These people were gathered together, trying to deal with the Second Evils' Blood Poison Dart.

"No! These people didn't die in the hands of the Second Evils. "

Uncle Fang's expression changed drastically.

In the next instant, something unexpected occurred.

Thump! Thump!

The two Chen family guards suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.

"Oh no!"

"This is the Third Evils' Soul Dispersing Fragrance …"

Uncle Fang and Uncle Chen Wu couldn't stand steadily, their faces filled with shock.

A strong sense of fatigue … attacked their minds!

Chen Yu and Chen Ying 'er also felt a trace of tiredness and discomfort, their complexions changing abruptly.

"Hehe …"

A strange and cold laughter of a woman echoed in his ears.

Swoosh!

A ghost-like woman leaped out from the pile of corpses, as if she was a zombie!
